the currency, not me…
apparently the tolar’s going to be replaced by the euro as the national form of currency as of january 2007.
bah! if there are any slovenian readers out there…would you mind sending me some tolars? 
Well, not until the end of 2007…but it’s still a sad day. This letter was sent to their listserv & posted on nickelcreek.com today:
Dearest Listener,
After seven years of extensive touring in support of three records (seventeen years as a band), we’ve decided to take a break of indefinite length at the end of 2007 to preserve the environment we’ve sought so hard to create and to pursue other interests. It has been a pleasure to write, record, and perform for you through the years and we’d like to heartily thank you for your invaluable contribution to our musical lives.
Yours,
Nickel Creek
(Sean, Sara, and Chris)
I don’t really expect any of them to be as great in their solo projects as they have been as a cohesive group…especially given the solo records to date. I saw them tear the roof off of the Stevens Center in 2001 and again at the Fox Theatre in 2005 [along with a couple less than spectacular performances in between ... i blame the crowd]. I’m sad to see this amazing collaboration come to an end.
RIP Nickel Creek, 2000-2007
[only counting their careers from their self-titled release on ... basically their departure from being kids into being artists]

oh, fuck it: see for yourself
Did these people ever speak to anyone who lives in Atlanta? Or even anyone who had once visited Atlanta? Last week, they pronounced Chamblee with a french accent. Trust me, there are no cities, towns, streets, or buildings in Atlanta that are spoken with a french accent. No offense meant to the french — it’s just not how we speak in Atlanta.
This week, they referred to the senator as living in “Buckhead, Georgia.” Buckhead is *not* a city in georgia. It’s a neighborhood in Atlanta.
silly fox…tricks are for kids!
::update 1::
They are now referring to i-20 as “the 20.” Clearly, the writers have never left LA…
::update 2::
Noone told Fox that Underground Atlanta was a euphamism for a crappy, open-air mall, as opposed to a whole city underneath us.

i love that the flashback scenes to 1994 were defined by blind melon’s “no rain” & the spin doctors’s “two princes.” at least the music director knows what (s)he’s doing..
